Oakdoors?  :-)

Well.  Actually cutting an alpha is about one day's worth of work for me, 
so meeting the target date isn't hard.  The reason I set the date so far 
was, rather, to give other people time to act on it.  If anyone wanted 
some particular changes in the release, or out of the release, they had 
time to speak up.  And I also was hoping to see a decision on whether 
there will be a corresponding code release, although the lack of any 
comments about it does mean there won't ;-) at least not in the same 
timeframe.

I'm not saying the release is easy work, I'm just saying cutting the 
alpha is the easy part.  Then the real work begins -- lots of testing and 
fixing for the March 1st target.

best,
                                               Lalo Martins
